“I have a 2001 Chrysler Town And Country, I have a problem with the power sliding door, this has now happened twice first time fed. 2005 and now dec. 2005. Both times it has happened it has been cold, single digit temp. When starting the car and the power sliding door is shut, the moter of the door kicks on and keeps trying to close the door, resulting from this, the door becomes ajar, and the auto slide door will not work plus the door will not shut the door latch freezes in the lock mode and the door will not close!!! …”
NHTSA complaint #10145082, filed 2005-12, 47,940 miles“Driver's side sliding door will not work in cold weather. It is usually warm in southern la, but in the early mornings while taking my children to preschool, I could not get my son's sliding door to open. It always worked when I took it to the dealer, but several school employees and others have seen that the door does not work either with the electronic key, button on the door itself, or with the overhead button located above the dashboard. Oddly, also only when the weather is cooler, my high beam on my driver's side headlight will not work. …”

NHTSA complaint #10265370, filed 2009-04, 37,000 miles“I have a 2001 Town And Country min van with power side doors in the rear seat. The driver side door would not open properly (more heavy to open manually). Currently, the rear hatch door broke in that it won't properly open with the key. It made noise and opened partially. Then, it won't fully open or close with motor. Manual manipulation will eventually get gate open/closed.”
